My girls always have several Corky & Company™ coats each season, so I've sort of become a pseudo expert in the sizing of these great coats.  First of all the coats are always generously cut, fit very true to size and almost always have a roll-up cuff that lets you get extended wear with the coat.  My rule of thumb when buying children's outerwear is to always go up one size from the size clothes that my child is wearing in August and September.  All kids will grow into the size quickly and you won't be stuck trying to find a new coat at the end of February! 

For instance, when my girls were wearing 2T clothes in August, the time you need to buy Corky coats to get the best styles, they looked adorable bundled up in their slightly oversized 3T Corky coats and matching hats at the end of October.  But, by early April the Corky coats still looked great on them, but I sure was making good use of those four inch roll down cuffs!  This strategy has worked well for me from when my girls were infants, right through their toddler and girly years, and all the way up to size fourteen.   

Here in New England, it gets cold fast right at the end of October and can stay very cold right through early April.  The coat you buy in August needs to fit your child for nine months!  When your child tries on the coat when you buy it remember, your child is probably wearing a light weight summer outfit and as it gets cold they will be wearing bulky sweaters, turtle necks and jumpers. 

I have three girls and my experience with Corky coats started twelve years ago when my oldest daughter wore a twelve month swing coat and popover hat that would result with strangers stopping us to ask where we bought the coat.  If I had to guess, I'd imagine that I've bought more than 100 Corky coats over the years.

I can say, whenever I bought a Corky coat one size larger than the clothes that my children wore in August and September, I was never disappointed with the sizing.  I hope you find my rule of thumb helpful.
